Foreclosure and distressed property topics

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
The best part, IMHO, is it doesn't take much to turn that low FICO tranche into a pretty decent performing portfolio with minimal effort. Look at the following chart with lower FICO ranges, but with skin in the game and income verification:

[sorry I can't figure out how to paste from CR, bu tthe default rates for corresponding period are approximately 2/3 less]

Also, REDC has home listings for upcoming SoCal auctions here:

Of note are the dropping reserves. Last time I checked a REDC list, the reserves were much higher as a % of last sale price.

It’s nice to see a blog with useful information as opposed to the hate spewed on Irvine Housing Blog. That site is run by and published for..bitter renters.

Minor nit on the Foreclosure numbers. Nominal value is down 5% from August. Per government business day the number is up 14.5% from August. August had 23 Government business days, September had 19.

Wow, new residence sales are -30% from a year ago. That should tell everybody how soft the market really is. Those that can lower their price are moving it 30% off to make the sale.

anyone here tried the new foreclosureradar.com. it seems like they keep track of all properties, all the way through to auction so we don't have to waste time and constantly call to find out that an auction has been postponed.

Some scary stats:

In Q3 there were 4.25 resales per foreclosure. The only Q3 since DQ has been around worse that that is 96 when it was 3.6.

My estimate for the Q3 foreclosures was very close and my estimate for Q4 is just under 2000. If I am correct this will be one of the top three worst quarters on record.

The total foreclosures for the year are increasing at a rate twice as fast as the 90s. To put it in perspective the 2007 foreclosures will have increased from 2006 what 1991 and 1992 added together increased from 1990. Even if I adjust for population or housing stock these numbers will still be worse. Factor in that the jobs are not being lost like they were in the 90s then these numbers look gawd awful.

This is just plain ugly.
 
Does anyone know when 347 Tall Oak is (92603) suppose to be auctioned off? He is a neighbor of ours. Another neighbor would like to go to it. Thanks for any info.
 
I want to checkout some of these homes before they go to court. How do I go and tour them ? Do I contact the agent, the bank, the owner ? Looking for a property to invest in.
